Chapter 22：Preparing for the 2nd World (1/2)

After training for almost a whole day inside the Pocket Dimension, the size of the invisible container inside me grew by half its size. Now I can store enough energy for six Psyche Boosts.

Yuko waited for me in the Principal's Office and told me she will spend the night with me in my dorm room. Of course, nothing will happen yet. She just wanted to help me arrange my things and to cook for me again.

While eating dinner, she told me some things about her being the Hero. Unlike me who got cut off from the World Energy, she still has a connection to that world and through that connection, she can channel it to replenish her World Energy. Which means, all her Skills, Spells or Blessings that were integrated into her system were all usable here.

Such a cheat, right?

She can use everything while I can only use it until my stored World Energy is depleted.

”Dai-kun, do you want to try if you can use my channeled World Energy?”

After eating, we moved to my bed. Well, I don't have any chairs or sofa we can sit on. This will also be my first time sleeping in this bed and I'll be sleeping with this beautiful fiance of mine.

Yesterday, it was on her bed so I don't think this as bad now. We're just cuddling anyway. And it seems her father doesn't mind. He even wants me to also call him as Father.

Of course, there's that temptation to make a move on her but I have to put that off until I can really stand as equals with Yuko.

”How can I use it?”

We're currently lying down on the bed, I'm hugging her with her back turned to me. My hand rested on her navel with her hand on top of it. No matter how one looks at it we're more than just a couple now. Hugging her like this already feels natural.

Back in the World of System, we also did this when we were at the Western Border. Zerina was in a bad mood the next day after that.

”You said you can store the energies inside you, right?”

Yuko turned her head to ask me.

”Yes. But it's currently full. I'm trying to conserve it because there's no way I can refill lost World Energy.”

”Try shooting that Air Bullet of yours, it doesn't use a lot of World Energy, right?”

If it's Air Bullet then it will only use a little. I guess it's fine.

”Yes. But where?”

”Here at my hand.”

Yuko raised her smooth and lovely hand. Just by looking at it, you wouldn't think it's tough enough to punch through a wall or be immune from trivial damages. Her Endurance is 30, just how tough is her body?

”Ah. Right, Hero won't be able to get hurt from my Spell.”

”Don't be silly. You'll soon bridge that gap between us. I felt the change you had. You're at least 3 or 4 times stronger from before all this.

Even without me telling her, she can gauge the change in me. This girl…

”Nothing can escape your eyes, Yuko.”

”If it's about you, I'm always watching.”

She keeps on making me feel special for her. Ever since she dropped her act in front of me, she always shows me her true nature. Such a lovely girl, I currently don't deserve her but I don't want to admit it.

”You're making me blush again.”

”I love seeing that Dai-kun. Now try it.”

Yuko giggled at it. Now she's the one teasing me and not the other way around.

”Alright.”

I focused on the container inside me and channeled the World Energy, with a thought an Air Bullet was shot on her hand at point-blank range.

I looked at her expression at the same time, her eyebrows twitched a bit but that's it. No other reaction. When I looked at her hand, there's a red mark on it.

I immediately panicked. It's not that she wouldn't be hurt, she still felt it because of the close range where it was fired.

”You don't have to look that worried, Dai-kun. That red mark will soon vanish.”

”But it still hurt you.”

She turned around and touched my face.

”It's really fine. And seeing this worried look on you, I guess I did this rashly. I won't do it again, I promise.”

”I'll hold you up on that promise. I don't want to see you hurt, Yuko. Especially if it's me who did it.”

Fighting her enemies as the Hero, there's no way she won't get hurt, I have no control over that but if it's me who inflicted that, I can't take it.

”You really cared for me. I love you, Dai-kun.”

”Of course, no matter how strong you are currently, I'll still worry if you get hurt.”

Hearing that, Yuko reached in for a kiss.

And at the same time, I felt a form of energy being poured into me through the kiss.

This…

Her World Energy?

She's pouring it in through this kiss.

I responded to her kiss. Not letting her do everything. Then the World Energy that was being poured was being sucked in by the container, filling up the space made by firing that Air Bullet.

It works. Even without going back to that world, Yuko can replenish my World Energy.

After the kiss, she looked at my eyes, expecting my reaction.

”Uhm. I love that kiss, Yuko.”

”Now you're the one teasing me, Dai-kun.”

She blushed profusely which made her more beautiful. Ah. I got my revenge from her teasing.

I smiled at her and gave her another kiss.

”It works Yuko, the World Energy I used got refilled.”

”Then that's great. Actually, I can pass it by just being in contact with you. Kissing you is me trying to take advantage of it.”

”You… I don't hate it. If I can kiss you then it bested the purpose.”

”You're becoming bolder, Dai-kun.”
